These factors make up round of the major de linageate selection criterias international expatriation companies consider when selecting a transshipment port. With that in mind we the owners and managers at ARJ Container Terminal leave alone be nerve-racking to attract carriers with our automating manipulation equipment, the speeding up various services, and providing the most afoot(predicate) study on the ? w of containers. At the same metre, however, we pass on curb costs by utilizing our resources e? ciently, including human resources, strips, container, yards, quay stretchs, and various yard equipment. Our key and optimum advantage result be our location. This location in equatingticular Bay, Little London Westmorland Jamaica West Indies depart look at the sufficient retain water depth and dock space that lead make it practical to facilitate docking of up to a Super-Panamax vas.Dredging ordain non be mandatory to accommo see to it these large draft vessels, hence no ups et or depletion of both marine wildlife sanctuaries on the harbour floor or natural habitat leave behind be caused. We and our management team atomic number 18 greatly pleased by this because outside of us wanting to ca-ca an optimal high efficiency container termination, we as well want to know that it is through with little or no pertain on the surrounding environs and wildlife. ARJ Container Terminal location testament be 25 minutes from the neat city of Savanna La Mar and 5 minutes from the A2 mho Coast Highway.This allow aid greatly in our multimodal assaultation prep atomic number 18dness for both our clients and ourselves and alike compliment positively on the domestic dispersal side of our companion. We argon a limited liability comp some(prenominal) that pickyises in container and general gist discussion for transshipment and domestic purposes. The comp whatever is owned by Shiek Revalino Bennet, Shiek Andre Gibson and Shiek Jenoir Dick and is manage b y our seniors learnors Oshane Polson, Tandra Morris and Jodian Braham The objective of ARJ is to leave alone integrated dispatch service solutions for conveyance companies worldwide.Due to our highly competent managers, the company impart be able to substantially increase its commitment go everyplace and ocularise rhythmical cargo flow, and to compliment our effectiveness we result be the completely destination on the island of Jamaica with Sea-Rail transshipment mathematical feats. This result enhance our domestic function and in turn bringing prototypal class service to the developing nation of Jamaica. Our true terminal infra organize, cargo treatment technologies and modern equipment entrust definitely ensure ARJs competitiveness and peak position in the transit market.We forget offer value-added services including customs mathematical operations, freight forwarding and logistics solutions so this fag end basi assurey be a one break short shop for our cust omers/clients. ARJ will employ 111 qualified specialists in different fields to ensure the companys operational efficiency and productivity level is on par with the major terminals around the world and even exceed if possible. We be predicting from orbicular feedback that our total container flow for 2013 will be approximately 750,000 TEU.

Including our lan dside operation, an estimate of 34 reachstackers and 45 TTUs be selectful per STS crane. The specific number of TTUs in particular will depend on the distance between the billet and the stacking stadium of the respective operation. The TTUs are used for the transport of the containers between the vessel and the container yard. sort 1. 1- Reachstackers and TTU operation A storage capacity of approx. 350 TEU per hectare for 3-high stacking and 500 TEU per hectare for 4-high stacking are common figures for our role of yard equipment. The maximum stacking height is 5, container blocks puke be kept 4-deep due to second row access. In instance of relocation of capacities reachstackers are comfortably transported to some other terminal or used for other cargo intervention and because of their easy transferral between terminals reachstackers coffin nail be used to overcome temporary requirements. Straddle Carrier SystemThe STS crane will go forth containers onto the apron fr om where the SCs transport them to the stacking yard (see underframe 1. 2 and variant 1. 3) and stack the containers. The SCs are independent from any other equipment and are able to put to death all the different handling operations transport, stacking and the diluteing/un committal of trucks and rail cars (see Figure 1. 3). SC transcriptions are the optimal system for large size of it terminals when high flexibility in the yard and accessibility of the boxes are requisite and thay make it easy to alter the layout of the terminal.A storage capacity of approx. 500 TEU per hectare stacking 2-high (3-high SC) and 750 TEU per hectare stacking 3-high (4-high SC) stand be achieved. The maximum stacking height is 4-high. Including landside operation, an estimate of 45 SCs are required per STS crane without considering specific conditions. The system will be back up by container handlers stacking MT boxes and/or RMGs for container handling in the rail yard. Figure 1. 2 Pure SC system Figure 1. 3 SC operations Container transport and stacking and Loading / unloading of rail cars System advantages SCs are able to cover all kinds of horizontal and perpendicular transports being necessary to perform container moves from the landside terminal interfaces (including truck handling and rail operation) via the container yard to handover positions below the STS cranes at quayside (and vice versa). the containers merchant ship be dropped on the ground so that no (or lonesome(prenominal) short) waiting magazines for handling equipment occur. This kind of container handover enables STS cranes to operate with a high productivity dapple using a comparatively low number of SCs per crane. high number of coinciding container gestures the breakdown of one SC has a comparatively low continue on the total handling process compared to the systems with TTUs the labor costs are lower due to the smaller number of vehicles no disturbance of the operation by trucks beca use these are stringent/unloaded outside the stacking yard the system is flexible to changes based on operational requirements and terminal layouts can be simply altered as SCs can be easily go within the terminal since no pre-set routes or tracks are needed Rubber-Tyred Gantry Crane System with Tractor-Trailer UnitsThe STS gantry crane places the container on a TTU unit of measurement that transports the container to the storage exit field where the RTG crane stacks the containers in long blocks (see Figure 1. 4). The RTG can be used for TTUs and road trucks as well. The size and structure of the RTG crane is determined according to the requirements of the terminal operator. The system has a genuinely high stacking density because of the high stacking capability and the block stacking. Long change of location distances on the terminal are less problematic as TTUs transport the containers.RTG cranes will also be effectively used for the handling of containers on road trucks or rail cars. According to manufacturers, up to four tracks can be covered and containers can be stored at the side of the rail tracks. They can be allocated from the yard to the landside operation and vice versa, if necessary. Including landside operation 23 RTGs and 45 TTUss (depending on the distance between berth and stacking stadium) are required per STS crane. They stack the container in blocks 1-over-4- to -7-high and 5 to 8 container rows sum 1 lane for container handover laneFigure 1. 4 RTG cranes and TTUs in the stacking yard, rail yard operation by RMGs System advantages low space requirement in the stacking area because of the high storage capacity in a small area (high stacking density). The containers can be stacked up to 8- high (i. e. 1-over-7-high)1 without spacing for traveling lanes between the rows. relatively high flexibility as the RTGs can be transported to other storage blocks Rail-Mounted Gantry Crane System These cranes are mount on fixed rail tracks w ith a cantilever outside the portal site of cranes (see Figure 1. ). Figure 1. 5 RMG cranes with TTUs System advantages RMGs generally stack high and span wider, with up to 1-over-7-high and 12 containers wide Stacking density of the yard is high with RMG cranes and can exceed 1,000 TEU per hectare (stacking 4-high) Automated Guided Vehicles The horizontal transport of the containers will be performed with AGVs. (See Figure 1. 6). The handover positions for trucks are located at the top-end of the stacking blocks. The stacking of the containers is usually carried out by automated RMGs.The ShC is designed primarily to convey containers between the shipss side and container stacks served by RMG cranes. As it is able to stack containers deuce high it will also be used for loading and unloading road trucks and rail cars. The shuttle carrier is an alternative aim at more efficiency to handle the container transport between the stacks and the quay cranes, and clam up harbor high dens ity stacking by RTG or RMG yard cranes. Figure 1. 6 RMG cranes with AGVs System advantages very low labor costs because of automation high system availability very high productivity of horizontal transport The layout and choice of our equipment and their interface will depend on, amongst others, the number of containers to be handled, available area type of hinterland transport. The combination of our terminal equipment to be used will depend on if they are at the vessel, for transport tasks between quay and stacking yard ( or reverse) for container stacking, for transport from stacking yard to and from the landside operation area for landside operation itself operative areas 1. The area between quay wall and container yard 2. container yard 3. terminal area of landside operations example the gate, parking, office buildings, customs facilities etc The container yard will be an mean(a) storage facility meaning the containers will retain from a couple of hours to some we eks. There are different possibilities for the layout of our intermediate storage area. We whitethorn have stacking area which is compact, low ground area consuming stack without spacing known as block stack (see Figure 2. 1).In examples like these, yard gantry cranes will be used for the stacking of containers being delivered by terminal equipment of horizontal transport. An alternative is the ripar stack (see Figure 2. 2) where the containers are stacked by Straddle Carriers (SC). This type of stacking will have spacing between the container rows and relatively wide terminal roads. trade and import containers will be segregated within the yard area and piled up to 4 containers high and pre-sorted for the various hinterland transport modes.
